#ABCNLUpdate #Giannis Antetokounmp #MilwaukeeBucks #NBAFinals
His parents in Greece 8 years ago were making 500€ a month with 400€ rent and they had to feed a family of six .So older brother Thanassi and Gianni had to work selling sunglasses and purses in the street after school to help the family since they were 12 yo. Thankfully they started playing basketball in their neighborhood in Sepolia Athens were their height and talent soon erupted and NBA and BUCKS took notice and drafted him.
He already had the best training since 12 yo ,to be hard working, persistent, always improving to score and get the championship and MVP.Gianni stands for hard work, family, loyalty and excellence!
ΑΙΕΠΑΡΙΣΤΕΥΕΙÎÂÂ!
Giannis said he didn't want to go to Phoenix. It's too hot over there lmaooo
his mentality is almost kobe like and his determination is jordan like…he loves basketball so much….this is the kind of player we need in the nba…good days are returning to the nba and gianis is the epicentre…i just hate to see players assembling super teams…do it like gianis
A new Kareem Abdul Jabar was born in the person of Gianis Antetokoumpo
It makes sense
50 points + 50 years drought equals 100 percent champ
People should boycott sports if they reinforce mask mandates
P
The freaks come out at night
Sucks they had the win in that jersey shoulda been the home jersey
giannis realy like kevin Durant
I wish black Americans listen to this man
Congratulations to GA34 for its game and its titles 😉. Spartans, Athenians, ancient Greece and present-day Greece can be proud of him🇬🇷ðŸ‘ÂÂ🥇ðŸÂ†. Respect
From France 🇫🇷.
What a great interview
Congratulations my Nigerian brother, my name sake, my tribal root…. well done dear. #family #muchlove
Gov. Scott Walker would be proud!!
how is he not fluent yet he's been in America for 8 yrs
While watching the series his breathing concerns me. Get checked out before flying to Tokyo.
Class act
Faze rug brother was there
Congrats to you Giannis..go champ
He had no Superteam? Wow!! What are the odds the Greek Freak will be discussed 24/7 a day like Lebron James? Absolutely zero!
Big deal
That's absolutely hilarious that he was going home to bed & not partying. Is he 'straight-edge' like Tom Brady? If so, look out for 6 more trophies, Milwaukee!
"Quote by Saint Paisios"Humility and love there you have it these are the most important things"…..Giannis is incredible soo humble..God Bless him and his family always â¤
This Man is Humbled by the journey he’s gone through. A rare breed that value life every step of the day beyond basketball.
My Humble IDOL â¤︠Giannis,
You can see all the systemic racism in full bloom right here . Can't find a Black person doing well anywhere .
I like the bucks organization! So many times organizations waste careers of superstars by never really giving them good help. This and not joining superteams us the way to win(looking at you durant/hardin)
ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DISLIKE THIS MUST BE EITHER SUNS FANS… CP3..LEBRON.. AND OTHER MAINSTREAM MEDIA NBA STAR DYCK RYDER FANS!!!
Newest member of illuminati! Fuk him..
Bravo Giannara!!!!
This guy has such a good attitude.
Here in Greece we are very proud of you Giannis, you are amazing ðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂðŸ‘ÂÂ
We miss you and love you from Greece🇬🇷
Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul Jabbar and happy that this team has picked up they left off and were able to carry on the championship tradition and legacy 😀
